Forever Mine is a costume drama telling the love story behind the world's best-loved hymn Amazing Grace in its anniversary year.
Taking place in the historic Parish church of PrittlewellForever Mine is an original stage play and costume drama that explores this story through the lens of the two great loves of John Newton's life - his love for God and his love for "Polly" (his nickname for his wife Mary)Based on their love letters and on letters, diaries and authentic historical writings, Forever Mine is a true story of separation and reunion, death and new life, love, loss and redemptionAlthough set in the 18th century, this moving narrative will resonate with modern audiences
Forever Mine also looks honestly at John Newton's role in the slave trade, even for six years after his conversionIt traces his slow journey to repentance and his later work supporting the campaign for abolition as mentor to William WilberforceThe play elevates the lesser-known voices of the abolition movement such as former slave and writer Olaudah Equiano and the poet William Cowper
Forever Mine is brought to life by a cast of professional actors starring Ellis Wells as John Newton, Susie Garvey-Williams as Polly Newton, Gideon Asuming as Olaudah Equiano and Christian Gerring as William Wilberforce
